Interesting read about #authentication and #authorization in #localfirst #p2p software.
I still have a few more alternatives to review, but the library @localfirst/auth could be a good option.
-
@antfu Thanks for your work to explore #pnpm catalogs. I agree that this is especially useful to document how and when to update certain dependencies.
Some are safe to change (testing and dev deps), and others require careful review (runtime production dependencies with access to sensitive data).
Looking forward to how this develops over time. This could create big improvements for #JavaScript and #TypeScript projects.

Have you ever needed to extract text from images embedded in a #PDF? I can highly recommend the open source #CLI tool #OCRmyPDF which is easy to automate in for example a #DataPipeline.
It uses #Tesseract #OCR under the hood and has many options to experiment with to get the best possible accuracy for your language and PDF content.
You can get started with just a few commands:

Lawrence Block’s 1965 crime novel The Girl with the Long Green Heart is about a con and I’m inordinately fond of that crime sub-genre. Block describes the grift in great detail and it’s a delight to read. Very noir and wildly enjoyable.

I read 37 crime novels in 2023. The highlight was Lawrence Block’s The Girl with the Long Green Heart from 1965. I just love novels about con-artists. And this is a great one.

#Changemaker Spotlight: #MichaelShaughnessy
A dedicated Friend of the #PresumpscotRiver
By Amy Paradysz, Winter 2025-26
Excerpt: "Shaughnessy, who became president of the Friends group in 2010, is inspired by the historical record of #ChiefPolin saying he 'belonged to' the Presumpscot River. Shaughnessy says, 'That has been a bellwether for us, conceptually, that we all belong to the river and the river could be cared for much better.' "

MOTHER'S CAKE
ULTIMA RADIO
MODULA NATION
Info
MOTHER'S CAKE
Progressive, psychedelic, uncompromising: Mother's Cake dismantles the concept of rock and reassembles it. With their fifth album under their belt, the exceptional band led by Yves Krismer and Benedikt Trenkwalder returns to Graz the capital of the green heart of Austria—more experimental than ever. Support: Modula Nation
Following the release of their new album, Ultrabliss, Mother's Cake brings their unmistakable sound and live spirit to the city stage. The band deliberately dismantles classic song structures, blending funk, krautrock, psychedelic, and British indie vibes into a musical frenzy—including cinematic references to Kubrick.
But despite all the references, Mother's Cake always remains unique: The live performance lacks stage pathos – what counts is the energy. Major multimedia distractions aren't even necessary for the musical fireworks of the "Cake" live show. "We're more of an anti-rock show," says frontman Yves Krismer. No rock circus, just pure escalation.
ULTIMA RADIO
With their variety of sounds, ranging from Alternative, Crossover, Progressive to Post Rock, Ultima Radio are trying to overcome the limits of typical genres, intending to find their very own style. After a successful demonstration of their potential versatility on their debut-album “A Thousand Shapes”, they presented a much more consistent sound on their second album “Dusk City”. The band’s third album “Sleep Panic Repeat”, which came to life during the COVID-19 pandemic, expanded that sound with another dark and powerful piece of music. Now, the band has returned and set sail with their “Basement Session EP”, which features their new front man Daniel Dorninger from the Austrian band Witchrider.
MODULA NATION
Modula Nation is a distinctive fusion of experimental-psychedelic-rock, space-pop and alternative-rock combined with heavy industrial riffs, complex rhythms and tight grooves. The Group was formed in Graz and is one of the most promising rock bands of the Austrian underground scene. The progressive rock quartet from Graz delivers pulsating space rock odysseys that take their audience on a psychedelic journey into various musical worlds. Modula Nation's new album "The Rift" is just around the corner. Stay tuned as more details will be revealed soon.

Checking out #GearLibraries just makes sense
Sharing equipment makes #OutdoorRecreation more accessible, equitable and #sustainable.
By Amy Paradysz, Winter 2025-26
"We're all familiar with the principle behind #libraries: The community shares a collection of books so we can all access media without having to buy, own or store it. Gear libraries are built on the same notion: Sharing equipment makes outdoor recreation more accessible, more equitable and more sustainable. And sometimes it just makes good sense: Do you really want to own that pull-behind ski chariot that you might use once or twice?
"Thanks to a new coalition called the #MaineGearLibraryNetwork, it’s becoming easier to access a wider variety of gear throughout the state. For example, although #KindlingCollective in downtown #PortlandME doesn’t have enough space to stock a wide variety of outdoor apparel, their members can borrow what they need through #MaineGearShare in #BrunswickME at no additional charge.
" 'The network is a growing coalition of community organizations that are working together to make outdoor recreation more accessible, especially for rural, low-income and historically excluded communities,' said Maine GearShare Advancement Manager Emily Mackeown. 'This means that more Mainers can enjoy the outdoors in all seasons.'
"The lending or renting model varies greatly across the network. At some gear libraries, members can check out items for free—and membership may be as simple as having a card to your local library.
"More commonly, there’s a fee to check out items, but gear libraries that are nonprofits or under the auspices of a public library or university can charge less than a for-profit rental business would.
"Sometimes there’s a sliding scale based on socioeconomic factors; basically, people with more resources subsidize gear for those with fewer resources. At some gear libraries, groups like school outing clubs can save a great deal of money by purchasing a membership that covers hundreds of 'participant days' worth of gear, eliminating choices of what gear, exactly, they can afford to borrow."

THE COMMUNITY EDTION GUIDE TO BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREAS
From the Uptown Waterloo Business Improvement Area (BIA) to the Downtown Cambridge BIA and everywhere in between, BIAs support business communities in city cores with networking and events that bring more people to dine, drink and shop.
The BIA concept started on Bloor St. W. in Toronto. As foot traffic shifted to suburban malls in the late 1960s, shopkeepers banded together and convinced City Hall and Queen’s Park to let every business contribute to streetscape upgrades and joint promotions. Their experiment became the Bloor West Village BIA in 1970, a model soon copied across Ontario and around the world.
Since then, BIAs have spread across the province. Today, there are over 300 BIAs in Ontario and more than 500 across Canada. The Uptown Waterloo BIA was the second to be incorporated in 1972.
Waterloo Region now has eight BIAs, each anchoring its own main street with a distinct mix of shops, streetscape touches and marquee events. Here is a snapshot of who they are, where they sit and what they do.
Uptown Waterloo BIA
With King St. S. at its core, the Uptown Waterloo BIA represents businesses from Avondale Ave. to Willow St., and Union St. to Elgin St. The Uptown Waterloo BIA runs several events throughout the year, including Winterloo, the LUMEN Festival and nighttime art markets throughout the summer.
Downtown Kitchener BIA
The Downtown Kitchener BIA is the largest of the local BIAs and is bounded by Victoria St. on the west, Cedar St. on the east, Joseph St. to the south and Weber and Duke St. to the north. Its events include Palette x Palate, Día de Los Muertos, Sunset Sessions and more.
Downtown Cambridge BIA
Main, Water and Ainslie streets shape Galt’s heritage grid between Concession St. and Park Hill Rd. Summer events include Latin Music on Main and Friday Night Twilight Markets. In the spring, the Downtown Cambridge BIA is a partner in Cambridge Wedding Week, one of the region’s largest wedding events.
Preston Towne Centre BIA
King Street runs the length of the Preston Towne Centre BIA from Waterloo St. to Dolph St., with Central Park as its green heart. Wednesday Preston Towne Market (June-Sept.) anchors the summer, and the autumn Preston Lantern Project lights up the park after dusk.
Hespeler Village BIA
Queen St. hugs the Speed River between Guelph Ave. and Tannery St., backed by converted mill buildings. #WalkQueen closes the street to cars every weekend throughout the summer, and the Friday-night Hespeler Village Market features a mix of produce, artisans and live music.
Downtown Elmira BIA
Arthur St. and Church St. frame this small-town core, with most storefronts grouped around the Gore Park intersection. The Elmira Maple Syrup Festival draws tens of thousands each April, and the self-guided Elmira Art Walk exhibits murals and sculptures throughout the year.
St. Jacob’s Village BIA
The St. Jacobs Village BIA follows King St. N. and Front St. between Cedar St. and Henry St. Tourists and locals alike flock to the twinkling St. Jacobs Sparkles nights in November and return for the village-wide Sidewalk Sale every June.
Belmont Village BIA
The unofficial BIA of midtown, the Belmont Village BIA runs down Belmont Ave. from Union Boulevard to Glasgow St. The Belmont Village Bestival turns the street into a two-day art-and-music fair each September, and A Holly Jolly Village decks the avenue for holiday shopping in late November.
From St. Jacobs’ Sparkles nights to Uptown’s light-art takeover, every BIA shares the same goal: to turn a quick errand into a reason to linger.
